I need surgery on my wrist. I go in for my pre-testing this morning and get cut open on Tuesday. That's the 6th. With a two week recovery period that puts me..oh, right in the middle of finals. On the plus side, that means two weeks of not having to do dishes at work. I think what's really freaking me out is I'm going to be awake for it. haha... Dare me to try and watch?

On a happier and much more pyro-technicated note... IRON MAN. Last night. Best hero movie of all time.




Please, no gang signs.

Robert Downy Jr couldn't have been more perfect for the role. A drunk douchebag playing a drunk douchebag with a metal suit. Genius. From the beginning, he embodies Tony Stark and it's just... perfect. Not only that, but we meet Rhodes, as played by Terrence Howard - not my first choice, but Samuel L Jackson is way too old to pull off War Machine anyway - and they openly insinuate that War Machine's going to be in the sequel, which I'm actually looking forward to.

Best part was it wasn't all about the explosions [Which were super impressive] and the snark [which was just as brutal]. Stark's machines had intelligence and personality, too and he'd pick on them more than he picked on anyone else. It was hilarious. Their antics got the audience clapping numerous times. And... I want this machine.



On the left. So much love for that bot. So much.

Oh, and S.H.I.E.L.D was mentioned, too. I don't know how they're going to play it into the next movie, but it'll be there I'm sure.

And... The Dark Knight trailor? Sick. Just sick. I can not wait for that movie.

JEALOUS! I so want surgery! Err... I mean... I so want to see Iron Man! I must see it this weekend. MUST.

And yes, I've seen the new Dark Knight trailer online. Very shiny. I think I am more stoked for Iron Man though. Because he's...

*sung to tune of Spiderman*

Iron Man!

Does whatever an Iron can!
Gets real hot!
Creases seams!
It is powered by boiling steam!
Look out!
Here comes the Iron Man!

Did you wait until after the credits? Samuel L. Jackson appears afterwards in a hint at something fucking awesome.

No, I didn't, but I did hear about it. That's where SHIELD fits in then, I'm sure.
